26:021:005 That all flesh may know that I the lord have drawn forth my
           sword out of his sheath:  it shall not return any more.

26:021:006 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy
           loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

26:021:007 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest
           thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it
           cometh:  and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be
           feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be
           weak as water:  behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to
           pass, saith the Lord god.

26:021:008 Again the word of the lord came unto me, saying,

26:021:009 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the lord; Say, A
           sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: 

26:021:010 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that
           it may glitter:  should we then make mirth? it contemneth the
           rod of my son, as every tree.

26:021:011 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: 
           this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into
           the hand of the slayer.

26:021:012 Cry and howl, son of man:  for it shall be upon my people, it
           shall be upon all the princes of Israel:  terrors by reason of
           the sword shall be upon my people:  smite therefore upon thy
           thigh.

26:021:013 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the
           rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord god.

26:021:014 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands
           together and let the sword be doubled the third time, the
           sword of the slain:  it is the sword of the great men that are
           slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

26:021:015 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
           that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied:  ah!
           it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

26:021:016 Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the
           left, whithersoever thy face is set.

26:021:017 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my
           fury to rest:  I the lord have said it.

26:021:018 The word of the lord came unto me again, saying,

26:021:019 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword
           of the king of Babylon may come:  both twain shall come forth
           out of one land:  and choose thou a place, choose it at the
           head of the way to the city.

26:021:020 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the
           Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
